Bezook

Living with, not against natural forces

I'm grateful to Bezook for welcoming me into life on Apsara. First, he really paid the utmost attention to safety on board, demonstrating great professionalism and making sure I understood every aspect of it. Furthermore, he generously and patiently allowed me to observe him at the maneuvers and daily routines, and he shared theoretical topics as well. I can only reiterate that the boat is well-equipped for the most ambitious adventures and that is constantly improving. Life was frugal and surprising; I felt respected in the space and in the person, and I must admit that I easily grew fond :)

Very nice and great sailor

I'm a novice at sailing and Bezook allowed me to spend 5 days sailing with him and another crew member from Lorient to Castletownbere. It was a great experience ! Lots of fun on the boat. He's a very friendly person and always open to discussion (he also have great stories to tell). He even makes delicious bread on board: not to be missed! Great captain who knows his boat like no one else. I felt very safe and I hope to be able to sail with him soon! Thanks again for everything :)

A true french sailor

I sailed with Bezook and Apsara along the west cork coast for 3 days. Bezook is a very experienced sailor with many Atlantic crossing under his belt. He knows the Irish coast like the back of his hand. Apsara is a safe and solid boat which could take you anyway. Although my trip with them was short, I learned a lot from Bezook who is willing to let you have everything, from helming to raising sail and anchoring. Sailing on and off of the anchor was also a common manoeuvre which not many skippers willing to do. Something I really appreciate as there's not much fun to be had under engine. From his travels he has experienced so much and that really comes across as he always has a story to tell. Definitely a boat in which I would return to without any hesitation. I wish them both all the best in their future endeavours.

Experienced, open-minded & fun

I joined Bezook & Apsara for a trip down the portuguese coast and then on to the Canaries. I am very glad for this 10-days experience - I had a wonderful time on board, Apsara is a beautiful, well-equipped boat and Bezook knows her super well. He is a very experienced skipper who is always willing to share his knowledge; he is open-minded and interested in a lot of topics from astrology to yoga to climate activism, so you can pass long hours at sea with interesting conversations. Bezook is a calm and responsible person who has the habit of solo-sailing, nevertheless he let's you participate in everything and he is always there in case you have a doubt about something on your watch. To make things complete, he is also a great cook! I hope to be able to join Bezook & Apsara again in the future!

Great sailing experience

It was my first real/long sailing trip and I'm glad I've done it with Bezook! He's a great captain and person with a lot of experience to share, that's the best part! He allowed me to learn a lot and definitely passed on various of his passions to me. We crossed the Atlantic together, such an amazing experience and so smooth : he's good communicant, great teacher & cook (very important!) I never felt unsafe on Apsara & found my place quite easily. Don't know what to add, a lot more could be said, but if you have the opportunity just go & enjoy! See you around!

Always willing to share his experience

I spent a week on board of Apsara, from which I took in a lot and had the chance to see the beautiful Portuguese coastline. Bezook is a responsible, patient and contactable captain. I learned a lot from his experience - not only sailing. Thank you! I hope that we will meet again on the waters of this world :)

Very Experienced, and fair

Without having offshore experience, Bezook was understandable slightly hesitant to take me with him for a longer crossing, but he said yes and gave me the chance of a massive learning experience. I always felt safe under his guidance, even in fairly rough conditions. Thank you for the chance to get a first, but certainly not last experience in touring. I felt well cared off and enjoyed our conversations.

Kind and sincere

You will not be disappointed to sail with Bezook, who is a captain very experienced and skilled. I spent 3 days on Apsara and I learned more than in 2 weeks ! Patient, and listening, you'll feel safe with him on Apsara. Also, you don't want to miss his famous porridge !
